Sully Stir

The signing of Cory Sullivan to a one year deal is creating quite the stir across the Mets blogosphere. The organization already has a projected starting outfield of Beltran (CF), Church (RF), and a platoon of Murphy & Tatis (LF). This leaves Marlon Anderson, Jeremy Reed, Angel Pagan, and Cory Sullivan all vying for essentially two bench spots, while almost assuring Nick Evans will start the season in Buffalo.

Sullivan isn’t buzz worthy himself - he spent the majority of 2008 putting up good numbers in AAA, but hit only .217 in 23 AB’s with Colorado. The news here is in that crowded outfield. Is there a trade in the works? Nothing of note has hit the surface yet, but the acquisition of another 4th outfielder (and left handed hitter) is certainly raising eyebrows.
